hydrographr: An R package for scalable hydrographic data processing

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Freshwater ecosystems are considered biodiversity hotspots, but assessing the spatial distribution of species remains challenging. One major obstacle lies in the complex geospatial processing of large amounts of data, such as stream network, sub ...

A multidimensional stability framework enhances interpretation and comparison of carbon cycling response to disturbance

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
The concept of stability is central to the study and sustainability of vital ecosystem goods and services as disturbances increase globally. While ecosystem ecologists, including carbon (C) cycling scientists, have long‐considered multiple dimensions of ...

An ecosystem ecology perspective on artificial reef production

open access: yes, 2020
Predicting the overall productivity of an ecosystem is a long-standing challenge in ecology and conservation biology. Understanding controls of primary production is important in both theoretical and applied contexts, as it bounds the total amount of ...

The political ecology playbook for ecosystem restoration: Principles for effective, equitable, and transformative landscapes

open access: yes, 2021
The urgency of restoring ecosystems to improve human wellbeing and mitigate climate and biodiversity crises is attracting global attention. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030) is a global call to action to support the restoration of ...

A checklist for choosing between R packages in ecology and evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The open source and free programming language R is a phenomenal mechanism to address a multiplicity of challenges in ecology and evolution. It is also a complex ecosystem because of the diversity of solutions available to the analyst.

Thermal imaging in plant and ecosystem ecology: applications and challenges

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Temperature is a primary environmental control on ecological systems and processes at a range of spatial and temporal scales. The surface temperature of organisms is often more relevant for ecological processes than air temperature, which is much more ...

Functional diversity buffers the effects of a pulse perturbation on the dynamics of tritrophic food webs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Biodiversity decline causes a loss of functional diversity, which threatens ecosystems through a dangerous feedback loop: This loss may hamper ecosystems’ ability to buffer environmental changes, leading to further biodiversity losses.
